Denis was actually doing some work for DC comics at the time, though I don't really remember what it was.

I love stuff like this. It just brings another era back with one picture. If anybody has anymore, I'd love to see them. An early-mid '90s one would be cool, covering black metal. Slayer mag is probably the only one I know.

I never threw anything out, a great thing to realize as you're moving apartments.

Metal Forces #'s 2, 3 & 7 - 1983-1984

World Metal Report #3 - 1984

This is the best I could find, all you hardcore punk fans MUST check it out. There are Maximum Rock'n'roll issues from 1982-1988 the true hardcore bible for the golden years of the era. True, many writers on that magazine sound like snobby liberal fascists and the way they whine about metal is pathetic (from 82-84 they think Metal is about greedy people wanting to make sexist music, and when Metallica got big they whine that Metal is just mindless noise), but the whole magazine still gives an incredible insight on the superb era with millions of record reviews, interviews (Discharge, Kaaos, SS Decontrol, Negazione, Anti Cimex, Amebix, D.Y.S. etc) After 1985 more metal insight is put in the magazine, check out Pusheads Speedcore article in the Issue 22.

Also check out Suburban Voice few selections. The writers are less controlling than the ones on MRR AND have a good knowledge on true Metal. Check out the Blugeoned Ear section in each issue for pretty good short reviews on some (now) classics and more obscure records.

More coming. Had to a) dig out the zines from the attic and b) the scanner is at work.

And not to change the subject, but I was thrilled to pull out the Creem magazine that changed my perception of metal (and thought I had lost), the April '84 issue, with a whole section on underground/independent metal. It was my aunt's and she had just gotten the thing like a week or two beforehand. It included the first ever and greatest Slayer picture I ever dropped a jaw to, quite impressionable for someone who just turned 14 at that time.

And in case you were reading the Slayer blurb in the corner...

If anyone has any scans of any older issues of Slayer mag, that would be great. I don't have a whole lot of zines but I do have a few really good ones like Petrified and a few others, mostly from the mid 90's.

Desaster #1 (Germany) - summer 1990. One of the more pro-looking indie zines out at the time. Can't read this one either.

The lovingly titled Headfucker #3 (Italy) - a yearly zine, 1995
